British company moving to downtown from west Hillsborough

TAMPA — A British company is moving its local headquarters and 100 employees into downtown Tampa from west Hillsborough County.

Synergy Health of the United Kingdom bought Tampa-based SRI/Surgical Express last summer for $25 million, and in April Synergy Health announced it would relocate its Americas division to the Tampa Bay area from San Diego. The latest move came Wednesday when Synergy Health announced it would move that local headquarters operation from its current location on Race Track Road into the SunTrust Financial Centre in downtown Tampa.

One hundred existing Synergy Health employees will move with the company, and it will create another 40 new jobs in Hillsborough County within 12 months, a news release from the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. said. Synergy Health provides sterilization services and surgical supplies to healthcare providers.
